Murray-Bruce Reacts To Bill Gates Statement

Gates, in his address at the National Economic Council Meetting, highlighted the importance of the human factor in national development and advised the government to take more practical steps in that regard.

Reacting to the comments in a series of post on his Twitter page, the media mogul hailed Gates for telling the present administration the truth.

Murray-Bruce wrote: “The shots fired by @BillGates at @AsoRock today were timely and well said.

“This government has spent three years blaming the previous administration and not enough time preparing its own economic plans and implementing them. It took a foreigner to say this truth to power. Kudos!

“We have been saying these same things for years. When we say them, we are called wailers.

“But @BillGates is not a politician. He is not a wailer. He is a friend of Nigeria who has spent $1.6 billion of his own money trying to help poor people in Africa and particularly in Nigeria.”
